2011 Mustang GT500
Car & Driver 12.4
Motor Trend 12.35
Edmunds 12.4
Autoweek 12.3
Road & Track 12.4
Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords 12.02 (using their best driver and every trick in the book)
Even if the 100 hp brought times down by 4/10s second, we're looking at 12s or about what the ZL1 will do (Motor Trend video today says the ZL1 ran under 12 seconds on a crappy track). It's going to be an interesting comparison. No one has tested the 13 GT500 in production form, so for you to say "multiple magazines say it runs mid 11s" is kinda speculation. The basic suspension for the 13 GT500 is basically the same as the 2011 "with minor tweaks".

MMFF ran a 11.95 @ 120.77 in a stock 2010 GT500.
The 2011 was faster. Just had to be at the right track with the right DA.
Put a tire on both the GT500 and the ZL1 and run them.
Racing 500hp+ cars on anything less than Drag Radials is retarded either way.
